Dreaded red light on hub

[RaymondOS]

Hi All,

My hub light has gone bright red. The hub is warm rather than hot and it is in the same spot it's been for the past couple of years - reasonably well ventilated. I've rebooted it and it returns to red.

I Googled the problem and have seen a number of posts on the forum. It seems to be that if you post about it forum managers message you and arrange for an engineer to sort it out. Is that about right?

Thanks.

Hi Chris and Melds,

I'm very pleased at the way Virgin dealt with this. An engineer came around earlier this week and replaced the hub for a new one. No more red light and the WiFi signal is now a lot stronger. I know Virgin get slammed when things go wrong but on this occasion the service was first class. Please keep it up!

Hi @Melds,

Thank you for your post and welcome to our community forums. We're here to help.

I'm very sorry to hear that you seem to be getting a red light on your Hub 3. Is this a constant red light? If so, please follow the steps below.

• Turn the power switch off on the back of the Hub.
• Ensure the Hub is upright, in a well-ventilated location, and, if at all possible, out of direct sunlight.
• Then use the power switch to turn the unit back on. The Hub should now operate normally.

If the issue remains, please respond to the private message that I'll be sending to you shortly and we can go from there.

Thanks,
